Fly ash, a wast product of thermal power plants which is available in large quantities as 40% of the worlds power and about 65% of indias power is generated in these thermal power plants using col/lignite as raw material. Fly ash is a residual product of coal/lignite after combustion. This fly ash when store in the ash ponds under dry condition can become air born, causing air pollution and thus resulting in serious health hazards.

Fly ash brick is a gift of modern engineering and an answer to many such environmental concerns today as these are made of fly ash, a non toxic residue of thermal power plants. This eco friendly brick words in a variety of ways to conserve the different aspects of the environment. Firstly by using the residual product as its main ingredient, it solves the problem of safe disposal of the waste as once this ash is converted into solid blocks there is no leaching of any type into the ground water secondly it does not create any air pollution or soil degradation as no baking /heating or even excavation is required in its manufacturing and processing,

The multiple environment conservational aspects in terms of controlling air pollution soil degradation, underground water contamination and usage of fossil fuels thus marks the fly bricks high on eco friendly rating.
